2008 Damon Astoria Pacific recalls
Recall 10V-563: Equipment
Problem: Tmc is recalling certain model year 2004-2011 damon and four winds recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Risk: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak, may not shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Fix: Tmc is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional nformation. The recall began on january 12, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or thor motor coach at 1-877-855-2867.
Recall 08V-391: Suspension
Problem: Damon is recalling 179 my 2008 astoria, tuscany,essence, and my 2008-2009 astoria pacific motor home chassis equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.
Risk: If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.
Fix: Damon is working with daimler trucks/saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (Please see 08e031). Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712, saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271 or damon at 1-800-860-3812.
Recall 08V-054: Steering
Problem: Damon is recalling 126 my 2007-2008 tuscany, my 2008 astoria, and astoria pacific motor homes built on freightliner chassis. The fasteners that attach the steering arm or tie rod arms to the spindle may be over or under-tightened.
Risk: Incorrectly torqued steering arm fasteners may fatigue and fracture which could cause a crash without warning.
